French Microbial Ecology Association (AFEM)
The French Microbial Ecology Association (AFEM) is a non-profit association founded in 2004 and governed by the French law of 1901.
AFEM aims to bring together microbial ecologists from France and French-speaking countries working on communities of bacteria, archaea, micro-eukaryotes and/or viruses, with the ambition of fostering scientific contacts and partnerships, and promoting knowledge transfer in microbial ecology. The topics covered are broad in scope, and aim to better describe, understand, control and enhance the value of microbial communities in the biosphere, from both fundamental and applied perspectives. One of AFEM's strong ambitions is to promote young researchers through calls for mobility and by allocating them significant speaking time at AFEM symposia.
